Thoughts on a 1940 160 coupe project ?

A good friend has a 1940 160 coupe project car which is probably the best starting point one might ever hope to find, as it's always been a western dry-climate car. The bad news is it has been completely disassembled.

The good news is any flaws are visible and they are few. The body is near perfect with original paint and the floor pans are sound, surface rust only. The engine has been professionally rebuilt, to include balancing.

The owner has decided he'll never have the time to finish it himself or the money to pay to have it professionally restored.

He's asked me to help him put a current market value on it. I understand the difficulty of those here not being able to see the pieces, but does anyone have a price range guess?

What other details might one need to make an estimate?

What would be the price range for a well-restored coupe?
